I wanted to list the things that I think contributed to me meeting my weight loss goals in hopes that it may help someone else. And please remember, this is what has worked for ME, your mileage will vary. I will post one tip per weekday.
Here is tip 2 of 25. Let me know what you think.
2. Follow the 90/10 rule. This is where you stick to your diet 90% of the time and then 10% of the time you are allowed to treat yourself. Just keep it in check and make sure it does not end up being 70/30 or something more. If you eat three meals a day this means that during one week, two of your meals can be something that’s not allowed on your diet. If you can stick to your diet 100% of the time, then by all means do it. If you struggle or have a hectic schedule that makes it hard, allow the 10% to keep you on track. When I do this, it’s usually in the form of having a high(er) carb meal. I still try and keep my calories in check for the day though.
